TnE,i..sa i.r,

The following is from Dave Days
sluldoon, commenting upon the re
cent action Of the vigllantes, IN the
case of the negro who shot a young
white g,rl in oursy and who was
snffocsted in the jail-the would-be
lynehers being unable to secure an
entrance.
The circumstances attending the
tragedy of Tuesday are deplorable.
1t is always to be regretted that
society Is SO constituted that there
are here and there individuals whose
hellish natures and unrestrained pas
sions causes such horrible crimes on
the one hand, and, on the other. that
swift and terrible punishment out
side the forms of written law. But
such cases do exist, and the one I'M
der consideration is terrible exam
pie.
A tiend, human in form only, dew
ilish by nature and leeherous in dis
position, heartless with cruelty and
hungry for blood; the assassin of
wonan's repution and the would-be
slayer of woman's purity; wild
beast of society; Shiny with the ooze
OF moral leprosy and black with the
mark of Cain; with the ferocity of
tiger and the treachery of wolf
this incarnation of crime, without
proYocation, repeatedly and fatally
shoots helpless and defenseless
woman and attempts the lives of
others.
The terrible atrocity of crimes
such as this passes the limit of hu-
man forbearance. With one accord
society rises superior to the statutes
and, in protection of its mothers, SIS
tiers, daughters and wiyes-in pro-
lection OF itself-extermluate with
its vengeance, the guilty wretch.
